crx091081gb suggests: Munkh – Elokuu EP

The first of crx091081gb’s suggestions is Muhk’s debut Elokuu EP. This is really good, ambient techno with a Detroit edge. Reminds me of Ukkonen’s work.

crx091081 says the first track [Elokuu] is “really beautiful housey stuff”. You know, he’s quite right. But house in an ambient or IDM direction. This is house as machine music, not disco. There’s a really shimmer to the track that entices. The next track, Things You Do, is more bleepy and bloopy. A bit early Warp. The final track, Stars, reaches effortlessly for the sky. This has that pastoral open spaces feel, characteristic of Ultramarine or, even, crx091081gb’s own work. Beautiful.
